Tile Coasters

Looking for a quick, easy, but personalized project that you can do as a gift? Or maybe to help spruce up your own home? Try making some tile coasters using your digital or traditional paper crafting supplies.Hey there! It's Cathy here, I'm going to share a tutorial for making tile coasters. Now, I made these back in the Fall to give as a Christmas gift. So I'm using some holiday motifs on mine. You can use anything that you like. You could make a set for everyday use or a set for various holidays, or maybe themed for using when celebrating a birthday.

You can pick up the tiles at any home improvement store. You might even have some lying around from a leftover home project. Stock up on a few and you can make several sets at once. The only hard part will be picking out which ones to give and which ones to keep!

Supplies you will need:

Decoupage adhesive

Decoupage sealer (optional)

Scissors

Scrapbook paper (digital or traditional)

4"x4" Square Ceramic or Stone Tiles

Bristle paint brush

Felt** If using digital scrapbook kit you'll also need:

Photo editing software

Inkjet paper

Printer

I used Beacon Adhesive Fast Finish Decoupage and Decoupage Glass Sealer for this. You could also use Mod Podge or your favorite brand of decoupage medium.

1. Clean square tiles using a damp cloth. Allow to dry completely.

2. Select elements or paper to use. If using digital scrapbook kit, resize them to fit on tile, if necessary, in photo editing software. Print.

3. Cut out the elements, or trim the paper to fit on the tile. Cut the papers slightly smaller than the tile.
